、

中国制造

中国公司想创造世界品牌，

外国公司想增加在中国的销量，

这些都正改变着中

国的设计产业。中国制造商意识到，若他们想在本 国市场脱颖而出，在外国市场崭露头角，

就必须设计更好的产品。

索尼这样的外国公司也开始明白，

从前海外公司常把随便什么地方

设计的产品拿到中国来卖，而现在，中国消费者变得更加挑剔，他们不再那样容易满足了。

< br>

Made in China

Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want

to

increase

the

selling

in

China

which

all

change

the

Chinese

design

industry.

The

Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to

stand

out

in

the

domestic

markets

as

well

as

distinguish

themselves

in

the

foreign

markets.

Previously,

the

overseas

companies

always

took

the

products

which

were

designed

in

somewhere

to

Chinese

market,

but

now

the

foreign

companies

such

as

Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious

and no longer easy to be satisfied.

分析

:

若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出 ，在外国市场崭露头角，就必须设计更好的产品。

这里的“脱 颖而出”和“崭露头角意思相近”

，我们尽量选择不同的译法，两个词语可

以分别译为“

stand out

”和“

distinguish themselves

”

。

5

、

传统美

对于一名女子来说，

传统美是她的唯一标志。

< br>她的皮肤应该天生丽质，

没有皱纹，

没有疤痕，没有瑕疵 。她的身材应该消瘦苗条，通常高挑个，双腿修长，其中青春年少则是

首要条件。

所有在电视广告中出现的

“花容月貌”

的靓女 都符合这个标准。

这种形象是认为

的，是可以人工塑造的。许多 妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。

To

a

woman,

the

traditional

beauty

is

her

only

mark.

Her

skin

should

be

born

smooth

without

wrinkles,

scars

or

flaws.

Her

body

should

be

slim

and

thin,

and

usually she is

tall, having long legs.

The

youth

is

the primary

condition. All

of the

beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion. This

image is artificial and can be made by people. Many women do their best to decorate

and modify their looks and figures.

分析

:

她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。

< /p>

本句中的

“皱纹”

，

“

疤痕”

，

“

瑕疵”

应选意思最接近的英语词汇，

可译为

wrinkle,scar,flaw

。

、生活的艺术

在中国，人们对一切艺术的艺术，即生活的艺术，懂得很多。一个较为年轻

的文明国 家可能会致力于进步

;

然而一个古老的文明国度，自然在人生的 历程上见多识广，

她所感兴趣的自然是如何过好生活。

就中国而 言，

由于有了中国的人文主义精神，

把人当作

< br>2

一切事物的中心，

把人类 幸福当做知识的终结，

于是，

强调生活的艺术就是更为自然的事 情

了。但即使没有人文主义，一个古老的文明也一定会有一个不同的价值尺度，只有这样 ，它

才会知道什么是“持久的生活乐趣”

。任何一个民族，如果 它不知道如何享受生活，那么，

在我们的眼里，这个民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。

In China, people know a lot about

the art of all arts,

namely,

the art of life. A

comparatively

young

country

will

dedicate

to

the

progress;

however,

an

ancient

civilized country is experienced and knowledgeable in the life road, and naturally she

is

interested

in

how

to

lead

a

good

life.

As

to

China,

it

is

much

more

natural

to

emphasize the art of life because of the humanism spirit of China, taking people as the

center of everything and making human being's happiness as the end of knowledge.

Even if there is no humanism, an ancient civilization would also have its own value

standard,

and only in this way would it know what the “lasting life pleasure

”is.

Any

nation, if it does not know how to enjoy life, must be barbaric and uncivilized in our

eyes.

分析

:

1.

人文主义精神

基本素质采分点。可译为

humanism spirit

。

2.

任何一个民族，如果它不知道如 何享受生活，那么，在我们的眼里，这个民族一定是

粗野的，不文明的。

中文句子结构比较松散，

在翻译成英文时我们要尽量 使句子间有明显的逻辑结构。

这里

“如果?”引导的分句可以作 为条件从句前置或内嵌在主句中，

“任何一个民族”就可以做

主 句的主语。

、主动失业

截至

2005

年第三季度，全国劳动力市场供求状况显示，我 国

15

岁至

29

岁的

青年总体失业率达到了

9%

，< /p>

远远高于

4.5%

的城镇平均登记失业率 。

而在此之中，

选择主动

失业的占到了 一半以上。

“主动放弃就业机会的原因很多，但这些人都有一 个共性，就是不会因为经济原因饿死。

至少在短时间内。

”复旦 大学教授葛剑雄认为，社会发展到现在，一些青年人的确具备了可

以失业的条件。

他们不用像上班族那样刻板地工作，

可是相比之下他们的生活却格外< /p>

“富足”

。

Update to the third quarter of 2005,the supply and demand of the whole nation's

labor

force

market

indicated

that

the

overall

unemployment

rate

of

our

country's

youth from the age of 15 to 29 was up to 9%,which was much higher than 4.5% of the

average

rural

area

register

unemployment

this

group,the

number

of

people actively choosing to be unemployed was more than a half.

“There are many reasons to give up the chance of employment,but those people

have a common feature that they do not starve for economic reasons at least in a short

period.”The

p

rofessor

Ge

Jianxiong

of

Fudan

University

thought

that

some

young

people

indeed

had

the

conditions

to

be

unemployed

as

the

society

develops

to

do

not

need

to

work

routinely

like

the

office

workers,but

comparatively their life was extremely “w

ell-

off”.

分析

:

选择主动失业的占到了一半以上

“选 择主动失业”翻译为

:

“

choosi ng to be unemployed

”

。

、湖泊

湖泊奇妙无比。苍鹭

(Heron)

在 岸边缓缓地迈着步子，翠鸟

(Kingfisher)

和杜鹃换 脚

3

着从阳光里飞入树荫，

火鸡模样的大鸟在枯枝间忙碌，

鹰在头上盘旋。

我们毋庸为时间担忧，

可以从容地欣赏周围的一切。我乘坐的独木舟船头坐着个男孩， 他用简陋的弹弓

(sling)

发射

石 弹击打飞鸟。

他摆出漂亮的架势瞄准飞鸟，

却一次又一次地偏离 目标：

鸟总是飞出他的射

程。他把弹弓塞回进衬衣内。我移开目 光。

湖水与河水都如热带雨林中的树叶那样乳浊：那水是面纱 ，是窗帘，是画屏。

This

lake

was

amazing

and

wonderful.

Herons

plodded

along

the

shores,

Kingfishers

and

cuckoos

clattered

from

sunlight

to

shade,

great

turkey

like

birds

fussed in dead branches, and hawks hovered above us. There was all the time in the

world. And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely. The boy in the

bow

of

my

canoe

slapped

stones

at

birds

with

a

simple

sling,

a

rubber

thong

and

leather pad. He aimed brilliantly at moving targets, missed again and again; the birds

were out of his range. He stuffed his sling back in his shirt. Then I looked away.

The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves the water was veil,

blind, painted screen.
